Really great.

As a trans person, I really loved how the trans character was handled and how the other characters talk about and to her. There were a lot of opportunities for transphobia I was worried about but instead the author just makes her completely true to character. A certain scene did indeed "strike close to home"... that's *exactly* how you should use the fact she's trans. The story isn't even about her though. While it's incredibly obvious where things are going to go, it's also an incredibly hilarious journey to get there.

wanted to love it, but....(SPOILER ALERT)

such great talent but I was unwilling to listen to the end. I got nauseous when listening to the scene about showering in breast milk, then totally grossed out when they were drinking menstrual blood. WAY over the top exaggerated in every way. I had to stop the madness so I stopped the playback.

Had potential but plot got ridiculous

Loved the performances of Judy Greer and Kim Catrall. And I was hooked after the first episode. But then it got all supernatural and ridiculous. If they just would have kept it in reality it could have been great. However I found my eyes rolling more and more. Plus they tried a bit too hard to be edgy so it didn’t land.

I'm glad I didn't pay for this.

It started out good, Big fan of Judy Greer, but it was the content itself. It had potential, but failed flat. Not funny, not even entertaining, I couldn't finish it. It felt like a chore as time went on.
